Hiya Swanos
Mursley, nestled in the verdant landscape of Buckinghamshire, is a paradise for bike enthusiasts who crave a pedal through history. As you cycle along its serene country lanes, you're tracing the very path of the old Roman road, an ancient thoroughfare that has witnessed the passage of time. The village itself, with its charming thatched cottages and the majestic St. Mary's Church, is a testament to its historical roots, dating back to the Domesday Book of 1086. Alternatively, have a sausage roll and brew🤷♀️

Hi Swans,
We are heading towards Ah, Tring—a delightful market town in Hertfordshire that beautifully balances old-world charm with modern convenience. Nestled amid the rolling Chiltern Hills, Tring is a haven for nature enthusiasts with scenic walking routes like the Ridgeway National Trail. The Tring Natural History Museum is a fascinating spot that would intrigue anyone interested in zoological wonders, originally founded by the illustrious Rothschild family. The town centre is a tapestry of Georgian and Victorian architecture. Hit that attend button if you fancy it!

Distance: 50.87 mi
Parcore: Pretty flat with one official climb at Grove.
Weather: Dry, 15c, a lot less wind, but what there is will be on our backs on the way home.

Good day, Cygnini Tribe,
The ride is heading to Stanton St John. Stanton St John is that picturesque village in Oxfordshire you've always dreamt of cycling to but have yet to get around to(unless I've taken you before). Starting from Buckingham, you will traverse the rolling countryside before ascending to this charming enclave. Renowned for its fruit farms, Stanton St John might as well hold the 'Berry Capital of Oxfordshire' title—a distinction as sought-after as 'Best Jam' at the annual village fair.

Now, let's talk historical quirks. The village church, St John the Baptist, has existed since the 13th century. That's so old; it's practically the architectural equivalent of a wise elder or Paul as we know him recounting tales of yore. So, if you're keen on a bike ride filled with idyllic views and farm-fresh fruit, Stanton St John won't disappoint. Just watch out for tractors; they're the local traffic enforcers and are not known for their patience with slow-moving cyclists.

Distance:44.27 mi.
Parcore: 4 short climbs classified as easy.
Weather: Dry,17c, SW wind 17mph.

Hiya Swans,
It's time to create and bevvy, or is it a bank of swans depending on your collective noun preference? We are off to Claydon House, an architectural marvel that offers a fascinating glimpse into British history. Built in the 18th century by the Verney family, who still reside there, this property epitomises Georgian elegance. Remarkably, the house juxtaposes grand Rococo and Chinoiserie interiors with surprisingly unadorned exteriors—a true feast for the eyes! One can't help but be captivated by the lavish furnishings and intricate wood carvings, notably in the Chinese Room and the elaborate Florence Nightingale exhibition, which honours the famed nurse who was a frequent visitor.

Distance: 43.59 mi (Cafe at 25ish).
Cimbs: Nothing of note
Weather: Light rain and showers. It feels like 14c wind 17mph, gusting to 32.
Cafe: Pheonix Cafe

Great route to a great cafe cheers Stu🥰

Hello, My little signets,
It's been a while, but we are off to Rectory Farm for a hot beverage and warm company. The stop sits at the top of a small climb which is the perfect reward. There will be a bit of rain at the start of the ride and end so it's worth packing a rain cape. Route below:
